This file is the ReadMe.txt for the replication package of our Energy for Sustainable Development (ESD) article.  The package contains the following files:

- ReadMe.txt -- This file.

- DataverseCensus.RData -- The dataset for all regression analyses and figures that use village-level census data, including the adoption of solar power.

- DataverseSurvey.RData -- The dataset for all regression analyses and figures that use household-level survey data on energy access.  The full ACCESS dataset can be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.7910/DVN/0NV9LF.

- Solar_Rep_Census.R -- an .R file that replicates all village-level regression analyses in the paper and appendix (using DataverseCensus.RData).

- Solar_Rep_Figure.R -- an .R file that replicates maps and figures in the paper and appendix (using DataverseCensus.RData).

- Solar_Rep_Figure.R -- an .R file that replicates all household-level regression analyses in the paper and appendix (using DataverseSurvey.RData).

- Solar_Maps.zip -- The GIS files for mapping the use of solar power in India.  Download the zip file and run "Maps" in Solar_Rep_Figure.R.
